Cabbage is a leafy biennial plant that forms a compact, globular head composed of overlapping smooth or crinkled leaves.
The plant typically produces flowers after experiencing a winter season.
Cabbage is grown for its edible leaves, which are commonly used in a variety of culinary dishes.
The heads can vary in color, including green, purple, and white, depending on the variety.
Cabbage stocks often come with attached leaves that may be trimmed before cooking or sale.
